This post is not actually a tip from a Catch My Party member, but a tip from two member, Melissa and Kellie of Icing Designs, a company that specializes in hand-illustrated and hand-glittered invitations, cards, cupcake flags and gift tags.

Melissa and Kellie have added some exquisite parties to our site, and they have a great party design blog where they post many DIY tutorials.

We've gotten some amazing construction-themed parties on our site. For the boy who loves building, trucks, and dirt this is the theme for him! Take a look at these parties for some serious inspiration...

Christina D's Dig In - A Construction 1st Birthday

My favorite kinds of parties always have a personal touch. So when I recently ran across these two grown up party ideas -- a "favorite things" party and a "cookie swap" party -- I had to post about them.

"Cookie Swap" Party

There are so many gorgeous wreaths on our site. What's great about a wreath is it sets the tone of the party from the minute you walk in the door. Plus, you can get really creative with them.  Here are some made out of paper, vines, diapers, balloons, ribbons, and even extension cords and (one that's not exactly a wreath, but  so pretty I had to add it).

Eleanor T's All in Due Time Couples Shower

Jenni B throws some wonderful parties. I'd describe them as "unique and edgy with a touch of whimsy."

I saw this Post-It Note piece she did as the backdrop to her Dynamic Duo Tie the Knot dessert table, and I had to write about it.  (A party to congratulate two friends on their marriage with a comic book theme and a Post-It Note backdrop. I told you she was creative.)

I just saw this on the Martha Stewart blog The Crafts Dept.  How clever... a chalkboard bunting banner that not only looks cool, but is reusable.  You just clean it off and write something else for your next party.
